The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 260
The green goblin dungeon break in the subway was taken care of in the afternoon period, and much of the credit went to both the Whiteblade guild and the Crescent Knight guild, especially the two B-rankers that led everyone from the front, or so the television reported.Naturally, the B-rankers were called for an interview, and some kids that the guild members saved were also called, and the ratings for the show hit the roof as the children described what the goblins did and how the guild members then took care of the goblins.The fame of both the Whiteblade guild and the Crescent Knight guild got a boost because of the overwhelmingly positive coverage given on them. Even the mayor had announced that badges of excellence will be given to the two B-rankers for leading a successful rescue operation where not even a single child was killed.The two B-rankers got together and celebrated in secret that night and perhaps felt a little bad for Myles, but they thought that it was his bad luck.

Myles felt a prickling sensation on his back.“Mm?” he turned around, and a coral shell opened. “A C-rank dungeon? Wonderful,” he got up to his feet, quickly finished his meal, and then rushed into the dungeon.He ended up in a rugged scrubland with tall grass competing with taller shrubs. Right before him was a medium-sized lake. On the other side of the lake, a humanoid red-haired cat with a little bit of white hair mixed in was drinking from the lake.Myles took a step forward. The grass crunched underfoot.The cat’s ear immediately jerked; it looked in his direction straight away and hissed.Myles grabbed the bone staff that was on his back. “This fellow reminds me of a pet I used to own in my previous life.”The cat started running on all fours and came circling the lake. It was fast. From about fifty feet away, it leaped at him with a fully stretched body.Myles turned the bone staff into a sword and pierced at it. The cat tapped the blade down and clawed at him with another lim
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 262
The whistle wasn't loud because the cat couldn’t put enough strength into blowing the whistle.“Was it trying to send a warning signal?” Myles grew just a little anxious. He picked up the whistle which was made out of leaves. He crushed it in his hand and tossed it away.His shoulder wound was mostly healed by now.“This healing speed isn’t enough,” Myles stealthily walked by covering his feet with vaporous vera, so that even though he was stepping on the grass, it didn’t make any noise.“I’m getting more and more used to this thing they call ‘vera,’” he mumbled. “I could hear it exciting the cells in my body, making sounds that can be felt through the vibrations inside my body. Every breath is activating the life energy of the blood, so it can be used against all things, physical, mental, and spiritual. If I keep developing it, I’m sure I’ll be able to heal myself with vera instead of depending on the nano healing bots.“I don’t know how far this will take me, but if I want to defeat
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 263
The Boss Cat howled with vehemence.Naturally, Myles also heard the howl. “Dammit. Did they catch up on the scent already? I shouldn’t have cut them when I wasn’t far from the boss monster, but there was no other choice. I couldn’t have strangled all four of them. Perhaps, I could have avoided fighting them, but the star crystals didn’t let me walk away.”Suddenly, the top half of the hut was sliced away by the sword strike of the Boss Cat.“Human!” The Boss Cat landed on the wall and sprang at Myles with all the hatred in its eyes and voice. “Feline Fury… Scorching Sword!” It thrust a short sword at Myles with such speed, the sword screamed through the air and generated flames.Myles dodged initially, but the opponent kept thrusting the sword with increasing speed. At some point, it was too fast for Myles to continue to dodge, and so he had to block it with his sword. Flames erupted and blocked his view.The Boss Cat used the flames as cover to swing the second sword and thought it w
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 264
All the cat monsters heard the Boss Cat’s order and rushed forth.“Everything in creation vibrates at a certain frequency,” Myles said, “and so when you bring metal and blood into resonance, this happens.” His sword made a buzzing noise. “Harmonic Sword…” Myles gyrated on his foot and created a spinning force, releasing spinning top like energy utterly sliced through all the cat monsters along with their weapons. The only one that managed to withstand the attack was the Boss Cat, but its short swords also suffered cracks. And its arms were still trembling against its will.“You…” the Boss Cat was stepping forward, but then his internal organs had turned into a mess, and so he ended up collapsing to his knees. “What’s going on?” he bled from the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. “I’m sure I blocked the attack…”“You didn’t block it the way you should,” Myles was also breathing hard because his stamina was still not good enough for him to effortlessly pull off such an attack. “The vibrations
The Strongest Son-in-law CHAPTER 265
The treasure room was behind the throne. The door didn’t open no matter how much Myles pushed it. He saw a hole in the dole. Instinctively, he placed the Boss Cat’s star crystal in that because it fit there.The rock door then opened by itself, he was shocked because it was an empty room.“The heck? Is there some sort of an illusion?” he hesitantly entered the room. Only after he took a few steps forward, he was able to see the two tiny translucent discs floating in the middle of the room. Because of the way light was arranged, he wasn’t able to see them before. “What are these?" he hesitantly touched them. They got sucked into his body and appeared as lenses covering his eyes, almost becoming one with the eyes.He didn’t feel like anything had changed.Not minding too much, he walked away. The remnant cat monsters, more than thirty of them, had gathered in the village by then and came rushing at him. They were fast, as usual, but to Myles’ great surprise, he saw them move in slow mot

A few minutes earlier.In the flower district’s dungeon bureau department building.“Sir, there’s a signal of a new dungeon,” one of the workers said. “It’s a C-rank dungeon, currently forming on building number 232, Block C of Sector 12.”“Sector 12?” the bureau’s manager slightly smiled. “That’s the public sector where no guild is located. This is great. Let’s put the dungeon to auction immediately.”“Yes, sir.”The bureau held an online auction for the newly formed c-rank dungeon’s rights, and many guilds from not just the flower district but other districts also competed.In the end, it was bought by the Greed guild for a whooping price of 2500 gold coins, which was worth more than 400 years salary of Sercy as her monthly salary was below 1 gold coin.The Greed guild dispatched a full-fledged C-rank team that was already in the flower district. This was a team of five members, all of whom were C-rank venerers.The leader of the team was Yamira, a Master C-ranker who used a sword a

“Who the hell are you?” Rodriguez’s expression quickly changed after seeing Myles. “I’m not obligated to tell you, am I?” Myles coolly responded. Now, Rodriguez was annoyed by his response, and when he saw the D* badge on Myles and also the bluebird badge of the Dawn guild, he didn’t think twice about anything else and just jumped at Myles. “A trash like you dares to enter the dungeon illegally?” he threw his gauntlet fist with strength. “Hill Blaster!” Myles cross-blocked the attack with his arms but got pushed back almost to the entrance of the portal. “Ngh!” he ground his teeth. It was a pretty powerful attack, and his arms trembled. “Why are you attacking me?” “Shut up,” Rodriguez started throwing punches left and right. “Hill Chain Blaster!” He pushed Myles back, forcing him to enter the dungeon. Rodriguez entered the dungeon as well, but the others didn’t. They just stood there and waited, expecting their teammate to defeat Myles and then bring him out. However, it was Rodr

“It’s been a few minutes since we came out,” Biskie was feeling nervous. “Myles isn’t dead, is he?”“Speak something positive for once,” Casey snorted. “There’s no way Myles would die.”“But that old woman seemed freakishly strong, and we know that Myles isn’t as strong as he used to be,” Biskie said.Sercy ended up hearing their words. “Wait, what do you mean by Myles not being as strong as he used to be? Explain more.”Biskie was startled.Myles had specifically told them to keep their pasts hidden for their own good.“Uh, it was nothing. He used to exercise a lot in the past, but now, he’s become rather lazy,” Biskie replied, laughing embarrassedly.“Do you see cauliflowers in my hair?” Sercy hissed at her. “It’s obvious that you’re lying.” She then shifted her gaze to Ria. “What are you guys hiding from me? Myles was able to cancel an attack that only the likes of halcyon knights can.“Halcyon knights work directly under the Three Kings, and they’re all formidable because they are
CHAPTER 330
Before the tornado grew large and more powerful, Myles also waved his hand as if he was pulling the curtain aside.The tornado dissipated pretty fast.Sercy and others didn’t quite understand how Myles did it, but Glint, Judas, and Wise Servant saw it.“W-What happened?” Biskie was utterly clueless.Ria took a couple of seconds to realize it as he remembered Myles’ words.Vera had four stages of manipulation: flesh, water, wind, and soul.Did Myles just undo the tornado with his vera?Sercy knew this was possible to do with vera, but it was many times harder to cancel an attack than to cast one.So, she didn’t think Myles used Vera.After all, it would take years of consistent focus and dedication to master different levels of vera.Someone who looked as young as Myles couldn’t possibly be possessing such skill, Sercy thought.“I see,” Wise Servant’s expression changed. “You’re not just some random brat. To be able to control vera to such an extent at that age… your talent rivals that
CHAPTER 329
One of the Four Great Heroes, the eccentric old lady known to eat food in restaurants and not pay the bill for not satisfying her tongue was now right before Sercy.Unlike her, Casey and Biskie didn’t know how powerful and popular the Four Great Heroes were.Ria’s instincts, however, told her that this old lady was nasty and powerful. She couldn’t calm herself down.But then, Myles put his hand on her shoulder.She didn’t know what he did, but her heart beat slowed down.“Jelly Shock!” Aero released his electric attack, but Wise Servant dispersed it with her wind ability.“Don’t struggle,” she put invisible pressure on Aero’s body, which made him feel like his eyes might pop out, and his lips would get ripped.Dusty, however, stayed silent as if he had already given up any hope on escaping.Wise Servant closed her fist and then turned to face the fellow humans.“Give me one reason why I should spare some mercy on you guys for chatting with the monster-kind?” she asked. “How can you p
CHAPTER 328
Aero’s attack was deadly enough to easily kill a group of individuals without them even realizing what happened.The table where Myles and others were sitting was utterly destroyed.However, nobody was harmed because Myles had warped them a few meters away at the last moment. The only being he didn’t warp was Dusty.Dusty took the attack head on and was injured just a little. “This is…” he didn’t take more than a second to understand who it was. “Don’t say anything and just run away!” he shouted in ant language.“What nonsense are you talking about!” Aero attacked him with his spear-like limbs. “Her Majesty trusted you and sent you on a mission, but here you are, eating sugary things!”“You idiot! I didn't have any other choice!” Dusty defended himself. “I was forced to work for these humans!”“Shame on you! How can you work for humans?” Aero grew all the more aggressive. “You surely deserve to die!”“Who is that bastard?” Sercy asked angrily because part of the cafe was destroyed by
CHAPTER 327
General Aero of the Battle Ants leaped toward the two old timers and used his jelly-like body to set himself on fire, causing a nasty explosion that covered almost a hundred feet in every direction.It was so hot the ground cracked and the metal melted.Aero used this opportunity to fly away fast. Some automated machine guns recognized this intruder and shot at it, but Aero was able to easily slip past the bullets and flew away into the distance, covering a mile per second.Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stepped out of the explosion, and Wise Servant sucked in the explosion and contained it in her single hand and squashed it into nothing. The compressed flames no longer existed as a candle light would turn off.“Are you going to go after that thing, or do you want me to go instead?” she asked him.“You’re the wiser one,” Sweet Beggar picked his teeth. “So you should go, since you decided to let that little ant go.”“I thought he might lead us to the one that escaped last time,” she rep
CHAPTER 326
Outside the forever S-rank dungeon where the Battle Ants were present, Wise Servant and Sweet Beggar stopped playing chess and started drinking a strong tea made out of boiling many potent green herbs.And both of them felt energized and relaxed right now as they sat laid back in their chairs.Wise Servant lost in chess once again. She had been trying to win just one game of chess against him for so long. She grew experienced enough to be easily called a grandmaster of chess, but still, she was not able to win against Sweet Beggar just one more time. All she wanted was for him to forgive her and say ‘I love you’ just once more.Both of them had long crossed 100 years of age. So, they weren’t thinking of sex or anything like that. They were purely thinking about each other’s souls.Wise Servant had already beaten him 999,999 times, but she really wanted to win another game; however, Sweet Beggar didn’t make it any easier for her. He remained ruthless all the time so that she couldn’t e
CHAPTER 325
In the dungeon swarming with ants of all kinds numbered in trillions, with more of them joining the ranks as seconds passed by, this dungeon was becoming more and more of a threat to the very existence of not just the Venture city but the very existence of humanity.The queen of all ants, Queen Wiggles, was currently crunching on wafers and looked to be in bliss.“Mm… these are the best things I’ve eaten in a while,” Wiggles looked at the captain ant that brought her a single packet of wafers. “What are these things called?”“Wafter, Your Majesty,” the captain ant kept his head and antennae lowered.“Water… it’s crispy, sweet, and easily melts in your mouth,” Wiggles was drooling. “I think I can eat a mountain of these. Why did you bring only one of these?”“The guy that entered the dungeon had only one of these in his bag,” the captain ant replied.“Oh, I thought you managed to leave the dungeon and then come back inside,” Wiggles said. “But some fool entered the dungeon, huh. Did you
CHAPTER 324
Sercy found an A-rank healer, but he asked for a lot of gold in order to heal Judas and Glint because it wouldn’t be an easy task.“Instead of money, I’ll give you the spoils of an A-rank dungeon we’ll clear,” Sercy told him.“That’s even better,” the healer happily agreed to it.After forming a contract, he came to the Dawn guild to heal Judas and Glint. However, when he approached Judas, Judas attacked him by grabbing his throat and lifting him up.“Who do you think you are…” Judas coldly said. “Did I give you the permission to heal me?”“Judas!” Sercy unleashed a flaming punch and struck his face, sending him flying into the wall right next to him. His head went halfway through the wall. “How drunk are you to attack a guest who came to help you!”Judas pulled his head out of the wall and spat a few pieces of bricks out. “I’m not drunk, Sercy. And I don’t want to get healed because I’m perfectly fine.”“No, you’re not fine. You are mentally disturbed,” Sercy blurted.“Hmph, you thi
CHAPTER 323
In Basil District.Sercy and Ria were heading toward a certain address.“Why did we have to travel so far?” Ria expressed discomfort without hesitation. “Couldn’t you find any healer near our district?”“I could, but I doubt they can fully heal Judas and Master Glint,” Sercy replied. “Judas has been drinking a lot. I’m sure his liver and other organs are not healthy. We need a proper health potion that can improve his health significantly. And Master Glint also needs to drink a health potion because he’s not eating properly.”“His daughter died long ago, so why is he still depressed?” Ria asked.Sercy glanced at her with a bit of a surprised look. “You lack emotional depth. Were you not raised by your parents?”Ria frowned. “Do I have to be raised by my parents to know a father’s love?”“...Not really,” Sercy said. “Some lives can be explained by pen, but some… only by pain. By emotion. If we haven’t experienced the same emotions ourselves, it’ll be hard for us to put ourselves in oth
